WHY. WAS. BUSH. THERE. ?
Now think about what you just said. The war didn't start with us fighting insurgents. It started with us overthrowing the current regime under Saddam Hussein when we STILL should have been seeking out Bin Ladin for 9/11 but we just so happened to find an excuse (WMDs remember those things? vaporware we never found?) to go in and attack.

Bush could have been there for 1,000's of reasons. One example, maybe he wanted to meet with the Iraqi leader (which the US is working with) before Obama took control of the United States.
Bush doesn't need to get his permission slip signed by you to go on a field trip to Iraq.
Second, you are correct in saying that we invaded Iraq to overthrow Saddam's regime. But answer this: Does not finding WMD's say that we didn't think that WMD's are there? Police raid drug houses all the time and don't find anything. Does that mean that they were wrong and shouldn't arrest the guy inside that is wanted for murder? Saddam was a terrible tyrant that needed to be taken down. He slaughtered his own people. I have heard a lot of Bush's opponents say "we didn't find WMD's we invaded on false pretenses..."
In the end, nobody in the American public knows what intelligence was Presented to Bush that made him push the buttom to invade Iraq, so you can't comment on it. Maybe the CIA is the one who was foolish and didn't present facts.
Were you in the oval office when the discussion went on? No, so stop speculating! All we can do is have trust in the man that was elected and WHEN we have concrete evidence that he violated that trust, call him on his bullshit. When you get some concrete, let the American People know.... Until then, shut up and support your President.
I don't like Obama, I think he is a lying, cheating, step on whoever, and do whatever you need to get elected type of person. However, the majority of the country has elected him. Who am I to go against what the majority of the country wants? So, when Obama takes office I wont sit here and talk trash about him because he is my leader. Maybe you need to take some lessons in humility my friend.
